Sarah Ferguson's Companies Shut Down After Jeffrey Epstein Email Revelations

Six companies directed by Sarah Ferguson are in the process of being dissolved following fresh revelations about her past association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Filings submitted this month to Companies House seek to shut down the U.K-registered businesses, including S. Phoenix Events Limited, Fergie's Farm, La Luna Investments, Solamoon Limited, Philanthrepreneur Limited and Planet Partners Productions Limited.

People was the first to report the news on Thursday, February 19, noting it appears that no creditors are owed. S. Phoenix Events Limited is related to public relations and communications, while Fergie's Farm is said to be a retail business, per the report.

The move comes after the U.S. Justice Department released a trove of investigative files detailing the continued contact between Epstein and both Ferguson, 66, and her former husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formally Prince Andrew, after Epstein's 2008 conviction on charges of procuring a child for prostitution and soliciting a prostitute. (As part of his plea deal, the financier ultimately served 13 months behind bars. Years later, Epstein died in August 2019 in his jail cell at New York City's Metropolitan Correctional Center while awaiting trial on child sex trafficking charges. He pleaded not guilty to the charges before his death at the age of 66.)

Ferguson spoke highly of Epstein in one unearthed message from January 2010, praising the disgraced convict. "You are a legend. I really don't have the words to describe my love, gratitude for your generosity and kindness," she allegedly wrote. "Xx I am at your service. Just marry me."

Another newly released email from May 2010 shows the Duchess of York allegedly pleading for a job amid financial struggles. "But why I don't understand, don't you just get me to be your House Assistant," Ferguson wrote. "I am the most capable and desperately need the money."

A third alleged email sent from Ferguson to Epstein also included a crude reference to the royal's daughter Princess Eugenie. (Us Weekly is working to verify the veracity of the documents.)

Back in 2011, Ferguson apologized for accepting money from Epstein, calling it a "terrible, terrible error of judgment." She clarified, "I abhor paedophilia," in her statement to the Evening Standard.

She also defended her former husband, describing Mountbatten-Windsor, 66, former Duke of York, as a "first-rate father and first-rate man … who does not know how to tell an untruth or behave dishonourably."

Ferguson has seemingly been keeping a low profile amid news that Prince Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office on Thursday, February 19, which marked his 66th birthday. He was accused of allegedly sharing confidential trade documents with Epstein between 2001 and 2011.

"Following a thorough assessment, we have now opened an investigation into this allegation of misconduct in public office," Assistant Chief Constable Oliver Wright shared in a statement about his arrest. "It is important that we protect the integrity and objectivity of our investigation as we work with our partners to investigate this alleged offense. We understand the significant public interest in this case, and we will provide updates at the appropriate time."

In a new photo obtained by Us, Prince Andrew looked distressed during his first sighting since his arrest. The photo showed him with a shocked expression on his face as he ducked down in the backseat of a car driving out of Aylsham Police Station in the United Kingdom.
